How do I write my essay in a suitable style?

As you get marks for “personal engagement” it is important to use your own examples; your personal voice needs to come across in the essay. But writing your essay like a diary entry won’t lend itself to the critical analysis you need to get the top marks. Think of it as an intellectual enquiry. That doesn’t mean something stuffy, but writing that’s more formal than your diary. You want it to sound intelligent and thoughtful. Make sure you focus on the similarities and differences between areas of knowledge and/ or ways of knowing. So when you write, balance your personal ideas with the formality of an intelligent essay.
